Just a news note: A few days ago, Canon announced its newest addition to the popular consumer-level Rebel line-up. By the numbers, the T1i is an impressive camera, even if I find the new acronym/numbering “T1i” a bit awkward.

Rob Galbraith has pointed out that Canon has added a couple of new New Digital Photo Professional tutorials. If you are an EOS owner and haven’t tried out the bundled software yet, get on over and download an update and try it out, you might be surprised at how good it is.

DigitalCameraInfo have reviewed the Canon EOS 30D and while they like the camera, they are not too super-impressed …
Canon’s EOS 30D is numbered as if it were a major upgrade to the popular and excellent EOS 20D, and Canon marketing plumps it up even higher than that – the line is that it really has more in common with the 5D than the 20D. Really? With the same 8.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, the same DIGIC II image processor, the same 9-point autofocus system and the same 5 fps burst rate as the 20D, the 30D seems more like a respectable update of the 20D than anything else. When Canon put a bigger LCD and picture styles on the 1D Mark II, they changed the name to the 1D Mark II n. This new camera shows comparable improvements. We’d call it the “20D n,” if it were up to us.
After much rumours and speculation, Canon today announced the EOS 30D, DPReview is calling it a “mild evolution of the EOS 20D” and it certainly doesn’t appear to be a revolution. Best I can say is it looks to be an incremental improvement at a slightly lower (predicted) price point.
